well felton was great in the system but he never had this type of impact and felton had better talent around him

felton not as talented as Lin

Its funny that you have to give MDA's system a negative connotation of "inflating" a PG's number. It doesn't inflate it's numbers, but rather runs the game through him, so he will obviously be in the center of anything that happens. If the defense gives it to him, he will score his way to 20+ points (and please remember that this system can't guarantee the guy running it will absorb the many hits JLin takes and still complete the plays). If not, he will hit the open man.

You still need talent and vision to run this system (reason why guys like Douglas and Shump failed). The system is part of his success because its made to run through the PG, but don't take away JLin's talent, passion, vision and heart.

Not trying to take away from system or Lin. I think Lin is rock solid as pg. I just don't think he would look as good in a different system. MDA'S's syst relies on pg that can really make all the right decisions on p n r plays and in penetrating. That fits Lin's skills. In a more post offense, Lin would not be as effective. That is all I was saying. I think LIn can be as gold as Nash if his jumper improves and he cuts down on turnovers.
